WEEK OF AUGUST 13, 1990
The meeting was called to order by Chairman George C. Brown.
Commissioner B. G. Brown and Commissioner Larry W. Dennison were both
present.
Finance Management Committee: Mary Gaboury and Kathv Stafford re:
Budqet: Mary Gaboury and Kathy Stafford came before the Board to request the
addition of the Health Department to those departments that are allowed to
do object level budgeting. The Finance Management Committee recommends this
change due to the Health Department's use of grant funding for many of their
programs. Kathy Stafford reported that this would mean, during the year, if
an individual line item went in the red, such as in one of the personnel
lines, it would not be a problem unless the object level (Salaries) went in
the red.
Commissioner B.G. Brown noted concern that the departments try to live within
the amounts that are budgeted for a particular item. Kathy Stafford reported
that it is hard to project a line item budget due to the grant funding that
is not always known at budget time. commissioner B.G. Brown stated that he
would like to review how well this budgeting is working for the departments
that have been allowed to do it before approving this request. The 1990
budget cannot be changed, so this request will have to be considered during
the 1991 budget adoption process.
BUSINESS FROM COUNTY DEPARTMENTS:
PUBLIC WORKS
HEARING re: Aoplication for Franchise: To Construct. Ooerate and
Maintain a Water Line on County Road Rights-of-Way: Black point Road: Sam
BolinQ'. Aoolicant: Public Works Administrative Assistant Eileen Simon
reported in the presence of three interested area residents, that this
application is to construct, operate and maintain approximately 5,520 lineal
feet of water line on Black Point Road.
The Planning Department reported that the proposal is consistent with the
Brinnon Community Plan and the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Boling will maintain
the water line until the properties are sold and then the water system would
be sold to a Homeowners Association.
Commissioner Dennison stated that section 19 of the Franchise Ordinance
states "Before undertaking any of the work or improvements authorized by the
franchise, the grantee, if other than a municipal corporation, shall furnish
to the County a bond... in a sum to be recommended by the county Engineer
and set and approved by the Board of County Commissioners as sufficient to

insure performance of the grantee's obligations under such franchise... At
the discretion of the Board of County Commissioners the bond requirement may
be waived if it is determined that the grantee has financial resources
adequate to.fulfill its obligations under the franchise." Sam Boling stated
that he will be responsible for the water line for the present time.
Eileen Simon reported that the County Engineer has signed the franchise in
the absence of the Public Works Director. Commissioner Dennison stated that
the Prosecuting Attorney should be consulted regarding the surety require-
ments before any action is taken on this application.
Chairman Brown opened the hearing for public comment.
Bill Goodhue: Mr. Goodhue stated that he is representing the Admiral ty
Audubon Society as well as himself. The Admiralty Audubon society has
concern regarding what happens in the future when the line has to be
repaired? If the homeowners are going to be responsible as a "Homeowners
Association" would this be put in the Deeds to the property?
Commissioner B.G. Brown stated that the liability goes with the ownership of
the water line. Mr. Goodhue added that financial responsibility, even in the
short term, is very important. The Board reiterated that they want the
Prosecuting Attorney to review this application and work with tbe applicant
to develop a bond or other form of surety.
Sam Boling: Mr. Boling stated that it is going to cost a lot of money to put
this water line in and if it breaks it will have to be repaired.
Chairman Brown closed the hearing.
Since the situation with the bond or surety is not clarified, there are two
options on how to proceed: 1) approve the franchise contingent on the
Prosecuting Attorney determining the best surety arrangement and the amount
of the surety, or 2) table action on the franchise until the surety issue is
resolved. Commissioner Dennison moved to table action on this request
until the County Engineer and Prosecuting Attorney meet to determine the
amount and type of surety that is to be required for this system. Commis-
sioner B.G. Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
AGREEMENT and Request re: Reimbursable Work: Surface Roads in
Woodland Hills Subdivision: Eagle Eye. Inc.: Mr. Seton has set up a bank
account to pay County workers to surface the roads in the Woodland Hills
SUbdivision, Eileen Simon reported. This agreement is for up to $50,000.00.
Commissioner B.G. Brown moved to approve the reimbursable work agreement and
request for Eagle Eye, Inc. as presented. Commissioner Dennison seconded the
motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
AGREEMENT re: Rural Arterial program Funding forCRØS12. Oak Bay
Road: County Road Administration Board: Public Works Construction Engineer
Bruce Laurie reported that this agreement is for funding a portion of the Oak
Bay Road proj ect. The CRABoard has approved funding in the amount of
$36,400.00. Commissioner B.G. Brown moved to approve and have the Chairman
sign the agreement as presented. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion
which carried by a unanimous vote.
Intent to Enter into Interlocal Agreements with the City of Port
Townsend and Jefferson County Public utility District #1: This resolution
would authorize the County to enter into agreements with the City and PUD #1
for the integrated data management system, Bruce Laurie reported. Commis~
sioner B.G. Brown moved to sign Resolution No. 83-90 authorizing the County
to enter into interlocal agreements with the City and the PUD #1. Commis-
sioner Dennison seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.

located off of South Discovery Road and the names are not in conflict with
any currently named county roads. Commissioner Dennison moved to approve
Resolution No. 84-90 establishing the name of Fox Tail and Buck Point Road
and Resolution No. 85-90 establishing the name of Antler Drive. Commissioner
B.G. Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
Establishing the Name for a private Road: Pomwell Road: This road
is off of Old Hadlock Road, Eileen Simon reported, and is not in conflict
with any currently named road in the County. commissioner B.G. Brown moved
to approve Resolution No. 86-90 establishing the name of pomwell Road as
requested. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion. The motion carried
by a unanimous vote.
Aopointment to stormwater Advisorv Board as a Non-votina Member:
Bob Wheeler.· Port Townsend Public Works Director: Commissioner Dennison
moved to appoint Bob Wheeler, Port Townsend Public Works Director, as a non-
voting member of the Stormwater Advisory Board as recommended. Commissioner
B.G. Brown seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
FACILITIES MANAGEMENT
Adooting the Jefferson county Parks comprehensive Þlan: Carter
Breskin reported that the section containing the confusing results of the
citizen survey was removed and the section on open space was rewritten to
include protection and preservation of natural drainage areas. The only
other change made since the Board reviewed this draft was to add the
existence of Park of Recreation District #1, located on .the Coyle Peninsula,
to Chapter 12.
Commissioner B.G. Brown asked if the County intends on building a shelter at
the East Quilcene Park, since that is what the plan says? Carter Breskin
reported that the shelter is being rebuilt and the path to the park is being
cleaned up by a youth group from Quilcene. The County is providing the
material and will improve the parking lot. Commissioner B.G. Brown stated
the access off of East Quilcene Road to the park also needs to be improved.
commissioner B.G. Brown stated that he has concern about funding and the need
for a source of revenue to support the on-going maintenance of any future
acquisitions. He then moved to adopt Resolution No. 87-90 the Jefferson
County Comprehensive Parks Plan. commissioner Dennison seconded the motion
which carried by a unanimous vote.
PLANNING AND BUILDING
Review of Comments Received on Determination of Non-siqnificance
Issued for Pope Resources Bvwater Bay Water System: Associate Planner Jerry
smith reviewed the comments received on the DNS issued by the County on the
Bywater Bay Water System. The State Department of Ecology, Marian Meacham,
and the Admiralty Audubon Society submitted written comments.
State Department of Ecoloav noted concerns about proper disposal
of construction debris, erosion and sediment control practices,
construction practices and schedule, and development of a sedimen-
tation and erosion control plan to be implemented before construc-
tion.
Miriam Meacham asks the County to consider the long range impact
of the entire extent of development the proj ect would generate
and/or support and to address the cumulative affects. Jerry smith
noted that the SEPA regulations allow the County to look at
cumulative impacts from a project.
. VOl 16 rAGf 00 514JG
· .
commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of August 13, 1990
Page: 4
The discussion turned to how cumulative impacts can be addressed in the
future, if a scoped environmental impact statement is not required on this
project. Because of the nature of the development of the area, there is no
other time that a SEPA determination will be made because residences are
exempt from environmental review. Short subdivisions are also exempt from
SEPA review, so the only way an environmental review will be done is if a
long subdivision is proposed.
commissioner B. G. Brown expressed concern about determining what type of
information a scoped environmental impact statement would provide. Planning
and Building Department Director, David Goldsmith, reported that the County
can ask for additional environmental information without requiring an EIS.
Additional information could include impacts of stormwater runoff if the
property were built out to its potential and the impact of the maximum number
of septic systems on the water quality in the area. Commissioner B.G. Brown
stated that if the septic systems are doing their job they will have no
impact on water quality, whether there is one or a number of them. David
Goldsmith reported that the information on septic systems could indicate to
the developer that a community drainfield might be beneficial to the area or
that at some point on-site septic systems will be limited.
commissioner B.G. Brown asked if Pope Resources still owns any of the 220
acres that they will be furnishing water to with this system? David
Goldsmi th stated that he doesn't think they own any of the prope,rty.
Commissioner B. G. Brown added that if the additional information requested
can give the County more information to make a determination on this project
then he has no problem asking for it.
Greaory Rhodes. Rhodes Engineering. poulsbo: Gregory Rhodes stated he has
done the design engineering for Pope Resources on this project. He then
responded to the State Department of Ecology letter:
Item 1. Two wells will be providing water to this system and application
has been made for water rights permits from DOE.
Well reports have been submitted to DOE.
All construction debris will be properly disposed of in approved
locations.
4/5. A hydraulic project application has been submitted to the State
Department of wildlife and erosion and sediment control practices
have been outlined in that application. The transmission line only
crosses one stream.
Sedimentation and erosion control measures are right on the system
plans that contractors will use in determining their bids.

Mr. Rhodes added that all of the DOE concerns have been addressed. In
reference to the letter from Miriam Meacham he noted that when Pope sold this
property they assumed that all of the five acre tracts would have their own
well. When it was realized that this was not possible due to conditions in
the area they decided to provide a pUblic water system. There should be
no water quality degradation in this area from septic systems due to the
depth of the water table, Mr. Rhodes stated.
As far as stormwater runoff, Mr. Rhodes reported, ultimate development would
mean that approximately 10% of the area would be covered by impervious
surfaces, which shouldn't be a problem with the soil types in this area. The
roads into the area are probably not going to be paved. Mr. Rhodes asked if
the County needs any further information, based on the testimony he has
provided? Commissioner Dennison asked that Mr. Rhodes provide the informa-
tion base he used in making these determinations.
Mark Huth reported that he and Jerry smith will prepare findings and
conclusions regarding this determination of non-significance. Commissioner
B.G. Brown stated that the proponent may be asked to provide more information
as the findings and conclusions are developed.
Review of Preliminary Long Plat: Levine Addition: Intersection of
Old Gardiner Road and Old Schoolhouse Road. Gardiner: Jay Levine. Applicant:
Jerry smith reviewed the preliminary two lot, long subdivision located in
Gardiner being proposed Jay Levine. The existing Lot 1 (2.469 acres) of the
Levine Short Plat I is being subdivided into two lots. Eight percent of the
~VOl 16 fAŒ 00 5~7
· .
commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of August 13, 1990
Page: 5
total acreage will be allocated as open space with the lots being 1.029 and
1.028 acres in size. A variance is being requested from the paving
requirement of a long subdivision and to allow a graveled, private road.
The Planning Commission recommends that this variance and preliminary long
plat approval be granted subject to six conditions, Jerry smith reported.
The Planning Commission is requesting a turn around on the eastern edge of
the property (30 x 30 foot easement).
Commissioner B.G. Brown asked who owns the road right-of-way. Jerry smith
answered that the south 30 feet of the right-of-way belongs to the applicant,
while the north half belongs to the adjacent property owner.
Jay Levine, applicant, stated that he has owned 20 acres in this area for 12
to 13 years and could not get on-site septic approval. A mound system was
finally approved and installed which will accommodate eight, three bedroom
homes. Mr. Levine stated that the only reason he is doing this long plat
is to be able to utilize these eight connections.
The access road to this plat was originally built by Mrs. Dent. This is a
sixty foot easement with a 24 foot wide surface, Mr. Levine continued. At
the time it was built it met the minimum county standards. The road dead
ends at Mrs. Dent's property to the east. There are three five acre parcels
in the area. Mr. Levine asked that the Board waive the requirement of the
turnaround, because there will be two developed driveways into the properties
being accessed. He added that he would be willing to place in the covenants
on this long plat that when there is more development in the future the
property owners of this plat would participate in a Local Improvement
District for the road.
Chairman Brown stated that the turn-around is necessary for emergency
vehicles, such as fire trucks. Commissioner B.G. Brown stated that even
though there are two driveways off this road, they may not be large enough
to allow a fire truck to turn around.
commissioner B.G. Brown clarified that Mr. Levine is aSking that conditions
five and six be deleted? Jay Levine answered that he has no problem with the
30 x30 foot easement for a turn around. Commissioner Dennison asked if a
property owner can be forced to join in an RID by writing a covenant to that
effect? Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, Mark Huth, stated that he doesn't feel
that a person can be made to join an RID because it is written as a covenant
on the property. The issue of an RID must be put to a vote of the people of
the area, t~ be included in the RID.
Mr. Levine stated that he is asking for the variance from the road paving
because at this point in time this requirement is a hardship. Mr. Levine
stated that the County standards for the traffic volume count on this road
(0 to 100) would require a gravel surface, but the County Ordinance requires
a paved surface. The Planning commission recommended that the road be
brought up to County standards (without blacktop). Mr. Levine noted that he
would be shouldering the cost of improving this road for 600 feet which would
also benefit the property owners surrounding his property.
Jerry smith reported that the Planning commission considered the ultimate
build out on the properties along that road. Mr. Levine stated that if there
is a build out then the road should be brought up to standards. After
discussion with the Prosecuting Attorney about the road maintenance issue,
commissioner B.G. Brown moved to approve the preliminary long plat with the
conditions as recommended by the Planning Commission. commissioner Dennison
seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
Notice of Public Hearinq: Amend Plat for Relocation of Riaht-of-
Way: Ocean Grove Plat #3. six miles southwest of Port Townsend: Frank Vane.
A~plicant: Commissioner B.G. Brown moved to approve the hearing notice
setting the public hearing on the amendment to the Ocean Grove Plat #3 for
August 27, 1990 at 2: 00 p. m. Commissioner Dennison seconded the motion which
carried by a unanimous vote.

Emeraency Exem~tion to the certificate of comoliance: Rock Crushina
and Asohalt Facility: Ca~e Georae Way: Lakeside Industries: David Goldsmith
reported that this is a review of the need for an emergency exemption from
the Development Code certificate of Compliance for the gravel pit and
temporary rock crushing plant owned by Lakeside Industries on Cape George
Way. He reported that the Development Code defines processing as an
industrial activity and industry can locate in an area designated for
industry or in a resource production area (mineral extraction or timber
resource). The Code also allows for temporary activities for a duration of
up to 120 days, but the definition is limited to the types of activities that
are considered temporary. The Code does allow for emergency exceptions
where there is a procedural reason that the Code should not be followed.
In this case, David Goldsmith continued, there is an existing gravel pit that
has been worked over the years as a site for rock crushing and storage as
well as for a temporary asphalt plant. It hasn't been used on an on-going
basis. It's a sporadic use of that particular site. Lakeside Industries
allowed a contractor to start rock crushing at the site and several com-
plaints were received from neighboring property owners. After researching
the Code it was determined that the use was not "grandfathered" and a stop
work order was placed on the site. The stop Work Order was suspended to
allow the operation to continue so that contract obligations are not broken
and because there is gray area in the Code regarding this activity.
One of several things can be done about the use of this site:
1) The owner can apply for a redesignation of the property to make it
industrial. That designation would not only allow this type of
operation, but any other type of industrial operation, at this
location.
2) Apply for a Conditional Use permit and expand the range of uses
that are currently allowed at the site, (storage and processing).
3) Suspend the Development Code through the use of the Emergency
Exception Clause for a period of 90 days (or whatever time the is
needed) to finish up their contract and then the County will review
the Code and make necessary changes to deal with these types of
operations.
It was not the intent of the Code to preclude gravel pit operations (gravel
pits are exempt from the Code), but the processing and how those operations
effect neighboring properties need to be addressed, David Goldsmith added.
He asked the Board for direction on how to deal with this situation. He
recommended that the stop Work continue as suspended until a hearing can be
held under the Emergency Exceptions section (5.620).
Mark Huth, Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, stated that the question is whether
the activity in this pit is grand fathered under the Development Code.
Lakeside Industries feels that it is, but they want to continue operating to
finish work on their contracts. To shut this operation down at this point
would not be in the public interest.
Doua Hargrove. Attornev for Lakeside Industries: Mr. Hargrove noted that
this pit has been operated since 1978 and there is an office on the site with
power to it. About every four or five years a rock crusher is moved into
the site to crush and stockpile enough material to last for the next four to
five years. An é,isphalt plant is moved in as needed, after the crushing
operation is completed. Because of the sporadic nature of the operation, is
this use at this site a grandfathered activity? The immediate concern, Mr.
Hargrove noted, is the crusher at the site, which will be there at least
another two weeks and then the subsequent use of the asphalt plant. There
are three contracts which have been bid and awarded that will require about
another 90 days (end of October) to complete. Lakeside Industries needs an
administrative decision to allow continued suspension of the stop Work Order.
Mark Huth reported that there have been some complaints regarding the noise
and Lakeside Industries has cut back on their hours of operation and they are
installing berms along the sides of the project to help with the noise
problems and to come into compliance with the State noise standards.

Commissioner Dennison moved to approve the hearing notice setting the hearing
for the emergency suspension of the Development Code requested by Lakeside
Industries for August 27, 1990 at 2: 30 p.m. Commissioner B.G. Brown seconded
the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
Mike Shaw: Mike Shaw reported that he is a small operator who has been in
business for 21 years. He added that he has to risk everything he has every
time a jOb like this comes along, on the question of whether he can use the
source he has bid on. companies are precluded from bidding in a county where
there is not some vehicle that allows the operator assurance in a short
period of time, that he is going to be able to operate in a specific gravel
pit.
Gene Seton. Planning commission Member: Gene Seton stated that the issue of
resource was discussed at great length by the Planning Commission before the
Development Code was adopted. The resource of gravel has to be approved
where it is found.
Mark Huth. Deputy prosecutina Attorney re: Bandy Sewer Line
Prooosal: Gardiner: Deputy Prosecuting Attorney, Mark Huth, reminded the
Board that a hearing was held on June 18, 1990 regarding Mr. Bandy's
application for a franchise to place a sewer effluent pipe in the County road
right-of-way on Gardiner Beach Road. This franchise was tabled by the Board
to allow time to determine if the County owned the right-of-way on this road
and to allow the Health Department to determine if the septic system
drainfield could be situated on the' second piece of property Mr. Bandy owns
up the street from the residence. A ti tIe search was requested and the
Health Department was asked to check into feasibility of a drainfield on the
second piece of property.
Mark Huth reported that the local title company would not do a title search
on this road right-of-way. This road has evolved as a "user's rights" road,
because the public has used it for ten years and the County can document
maintenance on it for seven years. A "User's Rights" road gives the County
the right to the road between the ditch lines. The County's interest in this
road is very unsure.
The Health Department had Mr. Bandy's engineering firm submit an application
for the pipeline, the on-site portion of the sewage disposal system (which
is a sand filter alternative system), and the drainfield on the upland
property, Mark Huth continued. There is a question on what sort of action
the County should take for an alteration of the road bed. The Public Works
Department could issue a permit to cut through the ro~d bed surface based on
certain conditions.
Some of those conditions are:
1) Mr. Bandy would have to repave, at his expense, the entire
portion of the road that was trenched for the pipe.
2) Mr. Bandy would have to agree to hold the County harmless for
any damages caused now or in the future due to construction
installation, alteration or repair of that effluent line.
A copy of the proposed conditions has been reviewed by Mr. Bandy and his
attorney and they have agreed to abide by them. The Board needs to direct
the Public Works Department to issue or not issue the permit or decide if the
franchise hearing should be completed. If the Board decides that the permit
is all that is required then the applicant has agreed to wi thdraw his
franchise application.
Larry Fay, Jefferson county Environmental Health Director, reported that a
proposal has been received for a sand filter alternative on-site septic
system with a drainfield on the property up the hill. The disposal system
is consistent with State regulations and guidelines. The drainfield on the
upper site is located less than the required 100 feet from a water course
south of the site. 75 feet is an allowable setback from a surface water body
and the Health Department can allow that reduction of setback administrative-
ly. The State allows the reduction of the setback when the level of
treatment is increased, which is the case on this design. The basic septic
system plan is consistent and can be approved by the Health Department. The
problem at this point is getting the treated effluent from the residence site

to the property up the hill. A minimum distance of 10 feet must been
maintained between the PUD water line and the pressure line going up to the
drainfield, which places .that pipe near the center of the roadway. Commis-
sioner B.G. Brown asked if the effluent pipe could cross under the road and
then run up the opposite side from the water line?
Larry Fay stated that the easements that Mr. Bandy has obtained are from
property owners on the north side of the road, and that is the side where the
water line is located. To cross the water line there is an industry
standard for construction which will minimize the exposure of the water line
to the effluent. From a permitting standard point, a variance would have to
be requested to have a setback of less than 10 feet from the water line.
Mark Huth stated that originally a septic permit was issued for an on-site
septic system. He asked why that can't be done now? Larry Fay reported
that this permit was eliminated due to soil disturbance on the site and the
identification of a well on a neighboring property. Chairman George Brown
stated that he understands that this well is not being used by the property
owner. Regulations do not distinguish between wells that are being used or
not, Larry Fay reported. Mark Huth asked if the proposed system would be
better than the originally proposed on-site system regarding water quality
and the proximity 'of the system to Discovery Bay. Larry Fay responded that
the system that goes up and across the road is better for impact to the salt
water.
David Goldsmith then explained that the building permit has been terminated
because the sewage disposal permit was invalid and it was not renewed. There
was an apartment built over the garage which was not included on the building
permit. There has been a stop work order on this house for several months
pending resolution of the sewage disposal permit. The building permit can
be re-issued when the sewage disposal permit is issued.
Mark Huth asked what size pipe this system would require? Larry Fay reported
that a two inch pressure line is required from the septic system to the
drainfield. This line could be installed with a "Ditch witch" type of
machine which would mean a three or four inch wide trench. The line would
be placed 36 inches deep.
Bob Henderson stated that the county Engineer has reviewed the request and
if Mr. Bandy is willing to overlay the whole section (275 feét) of roadway
with pavement, he has no problem with granting the permit. Mr. Bandy would
have to agree to repair the road forever.
Ross Boylan. Attorney representinq Mr. Bandy: Ross Boylan stated that he has
been working with County staff for weeks to have a plan that can be approved.
Mr. Bandy has obtained an easement to run this line across Mr. Warner and Mr.
Borgloff's (previously owned by the Leakey's) properties and these agreements
contain a clause that the easement will self terminate within 60 days if the
line is not maintained. commissioner Dennison asked what happens if the
property is sold? Mr. Boylan noted that these easements are a covenant that
run with the land and would be noted on the property deeds. All of these
easements would operate in perpetuity.
commissioner B.G. Brown asked what liability the county would have if the
sewer line should erupt and take out a portion of the road and do damage to
someone's car? Mr. Boylan stated that any permission that is given to Mr.
Bandy will state that the County is held harmless. Commissioner B.G. Brown
asked what recourse an individual would have for damage? Mr. Boylan reported
that Mr. Bandy would have insurance to cover such occurrences. There will
be coverage on this and they have put together a proposal that the Prosecut-
ing Attorney will review. Care has been taken to address all of the concerns
that were mentioned by the neighbors at the Franchise hearing. As far as the
excavation, it can be done in a day or less. Mr. Bandy is willing to do
whatever the Public Works requests on the road.
Commissioner B.G. Brown asked what type of materials will be used for the
pipeline? Larry Fay reported that PCV pipe will be used. The engineers are
taking into consideration that the pipe will be run right down the middle of
the road. This is different than a water line that carries water under a
certain amount of pressure. This line will have water in it only when the
Val 16 rAGE 00 ·58:1
· .
, .
commissioners' Meeting Minutes: Week of August 13, 1990
Page: 9
effluent level rises to a given dosage and is pumped out in a couple of
minutes. Mr. Boylan stated that Mr. Bandy is willing to do whatever is
necessary to repair the pipe.
After discussion of the concerns for how repairs and payment of damages will
be handled in the future, Commissioner B.G. Brown reported that agreements
have been made for septic systems that include a special account to cover
expenses incurred in repairing the systems. This might be an option to look
at in this instance to avoid some of the legal pro~lems in the future.
William Movius: Mr. Movius asked how the effluent will drain off of the
drainfield because his property is right next to it. There is water draining
off that property during the winter and that has caused problems. To look
at the property now, it looks fine, but in the winter months there is a
different problem. Larry Fay stated that there are definitely some water
problems in this area, but he feels that the drainfield will take care of
them. The effluent will probably move south and southeast. Mr. Movius added
that south and southeast is across his property. Commissioner Dennison
stated that the drainfield, if it works properly, should take care of those
problems. The alternatives systems have to be monitored by the PUD and they
are checked on a regular basis.
The Board concurred that they would like to see the exact terms of the
agreement before they consider taking action on the request for Mr. Bandy to

and also pay for a boating safety booklet. The Sheriff's Department will
provide three officers who will each contribute 30 days per year toward the
program. The Reserve deputies will also be working on this program.

$2,983 from the State in vessel registration fees.
